Legal status of a client with H1 visa in US

[muhammadovais99]

Hi,
A client of mine (not on upwork rn) is working in the US with H1 visa. I'm trying to get him on upwork but he's concerned that his payment methods (paypal or
bank account) might not be accepted by upwork since he's not currently a US citizen.
Is there such a policy? Also, if someone with H1 visa is here as a client pls guide.

Your client has nothing to worry about.

Upwork does not care about the Visa status of clients.

Think about it this way: Have you ever been a customer at a restaurant? Did the care if your credit card payment went through? Yes.

Did they care about your citizenship or nationality or Visa status?
No.

Clients are customers on Upwork. Just like patrons at a restaurant are customers.

Upwork processes credit card payments and PayPal payments from people who live all over the world. A customer's Visa status isn't a factor when the buy something with a credit card.
